Flaming Hot BBQs top tips for a successful barbecueRecipe
~~~ safety
ALWAYS make sure that the barbecue is on a firm heat-proof surface, away
from buildings, tress fences and anything else that might catch fire.
NEVER leave the barbecue unattended
KEEP CHILDREN away from the barbecue area
ONLY use proper barbecue lighters, NEVER use paraffin, petrol,
white spirit or lighter fuel the barbecue.
LIGHT THE BARBECUE 45 minutes before you start cooking.
USE long handles tongs and oven gloves to avoid burning
yourself.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO HOLD A PUBLIC EVENT...
It is a good idea to rope off the cooking area to prevent
accidents.
If you are serving food to the public basic food hygiene
training is advised.
Contact local colleges to find out about courses.
Prepare as much as you can before you start cooking.
Good organization makes for a relaxed barbecue.
Food keeps fresher and cleaner if kept inside until
needed; keep prepared food covered where possible.
Lightly brush the cooking rack with a little oil to help
prevent the food from sticking.
Wooden skewers are great for vegetable kebabs. Soaking
them in water for 30 minutes stops them catching fire.
Relax. Wait until the flames die down and a layer of
ash forms. If you start cooking while the coals are still
glowing, the food is likely to burn.
Vegetables that don't have a strong flavor benefit from
a tasty marinade and basting during cooking - barbecues
do not lend themselves to subtle cuisine.
To prevent your food from becoming overcooked or burnt on
the outside wrap it in foil as a protective barrier.
Throw a handful of herbs on the charcoal and enjoy
that delicious Provencal aroma.
Spare a thought for the global environment. Using
sustainably-produced charcoal reduces the demand for fuel
made from tropical hardwoods.
